I was going to go for the 100 words but I couldn't keep it short enough. This is probably my favorite out of what I've done so far, even if it's super teenie. (The author note for the next drabble may sound odd because I mixed up my order a little.)
68. Thorns
Every time he looks my way. Every time his nostrils flare at something I said. Every time he opens his mouth. Every time he's near me my heart feels like it might fly out of my chest. Even that would be less painful than what I endure just feel my heart flutter for half of a second.
"Odango, that's a great imitation of a pig you're doing."
One thorn in my heart.
"I just want a day where there aren't squeals piercing my eardrums. I'll go deaf by the time I'm thirty."
Two thorns.
"Why are you all red in the face? Trying to think again?"
Three and four.
"Will you stop bothering me already?"
There are only so many punctures a person can put in another person's heart before it bursts. Doesn't he know that?
Every day I submit myself to that torture. Every day I let him put a few more thorns in my heart until maybe the blood will stop flowing and my heart will stop beating for him. Every day I'm waiting for the rose that should come with the thorns.
I reordered the chapters a bit. I really wanted to put my favorite out first. I think I'm a bit better with inner dialogue so I may work a little more with that. I'll try not to mess with the order any more but Fan Club was bugging me. Any opinions would be great.
